Guide
Summer recipes for warm days
On hot days, the kitchen is best cooled for as long as possible. Salads, cold soups, bowls and grilled dishes require little time on the stove and can often be prepared in the morning.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, peppers and maize as well as fresh herbs bring colour and freshness to the plate. Watermelon, strawberries, peaches, mango and berries are suitable for desserts as well as for fruity-heartful salads.
For a full summer dinner you can enjoy fresh vegetables with couscous, Pasta, Potatoes, Beans, cheese, Fish or combine grilled meat.
Fast summer dishes for everyday life
When it is warm outside, cooking should be as simple as possible. Dishes with short cooking times and a few work steps are therefore particularly practical.
A mango avocado salad, peach caprese or tuna bean salad is prepared in about 15 minutes. Lemon orzo, pasta with cherry tomatoes and burrata or a Mediterranean noodle salad are suitable for quick lunch or dinner.
Zucchini fritters, shakshuka with summer vegetables and couscous bowls can also be flexibly adapted to existing ingredients.
Fresh salads for summer and barbecue evening
Summer salads can be a light side dish or a full meal. For a filling salad, combine fresh vegetables with potatoes, pasta, couscous, beans, cheese, fish or egg.
Especially summery taste combinations of sweet fruits and savoury ingredients. Watermelon harmonises with feta, peach with mozzarella or burrata and mango with avocado and lime.
Potato salad, Mediterranean noodle salad, panzanella or a large salad with grilled vegetables are suitable for a barbecue evening. Dressing and delicate leaf salads should only be combined shortly before serving.
Summer recipes from the grill
Grilling is part of the summer for many. In addition to meat and sausages, fish, shrimp, halloumi, corn, zucchini, peppers and eggplants can be easily prepared on the grill.
Shrimp skewers with lime and chicken skewers with lemon only need a short barbecue time. Salmon can be cooked directly on the grill grate, on a barbecue plate or gently in a barbecue pack.
Halloumi burgers, corn cobs with herb butter and colorful grilled vegetables with herb quark are suitable for vegetarian barbecue dishes. Bread, salad and a fresh dip make it a complete meal without much effort.
Cold soups for hot summer days
Cold soups are ideal if you are looking for something refreshing and not long on the stove. Tomato gazpacho is a summer classic with ripe tomatoes, peppers, cucumber and aromatic spices.
A cold cucumber soup with dill tastes particularly light and creamy. Melon-gurk gazpacho combines fruity sweetness with fresh cucumber and is suitable as a small appetizer or light lunch.
Cold soups taste best when they get enough time to cool and soak before serving. Fresh herbs, roasted seeds or crispy bread cubes are only added shortly before eating.
Vegetarian summer recipes
Summer vegetables offer many possibilities for vegetarian dishes. Zucchini, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and corn can be grilled, baked, fried or raw in salads.
A ratatouille from the oven, zucchini fritters with yoghurt dip or shakshuka with summer vegetables are uncomplicated warm main dishes. For hot days, couscous bowls, peach caprese, watermelon feta salad and panzanella are particularly suitable.
Halloumi, feta, burrata, mozzarella, beans and couscous ensure that vegetarian summer dishes are not only light but also pleasantly satisfying.
Summer desserts with fruit
Berries, strawberries, peaches and other summer fruits often require only a few more ingredients. A berry yoghurt parfait can be prepared in advance and served directly from the refrigerator.
Strawberry tiramisu in glass is particularly suitable for guests because it can be prepared in proportion. A berry crumb tastes warm or lukewarm and can be served with yoghurt, vanilla sauce or a ball of ice cream.
For a quick dessert, fresh fruit, yoghurt or quark, some honey and roasted nuts often suffice.
Summer recipes for guests and garden parties
For guests, recipes that do not need to be completed at the last minute are ideal. Pasta salad, potato salad, gazpacho, couscous bowl and desserts in the glass can be prepared a few hours before.
When grilling, you can cut vegetables, put together skewers, stir dips and marinate meat or fish in time. Sensitive salads, herbs and crispy ingredients are only added shortly before serving.
For example, an uncomplicated arrangement for a summer evening consists of:
- a large salad or a cold soup
- Grilled vegetables, fish, meat or grilled cheese
- Bread or a filling potato, noodle or couscous dish
- a fruity dessert from the fridge
This creates a varied food without having to stand in the kitchen for a long time during the visit.
Tips for successful summer dishes
Use seasonal ingredients
Mature tomatoes, aromatic berries, juicy peaches and fresh herbs bring a lot of taste on their own. As a result, summer dishes often only need a simple seasoning.
Keep dressings separately
Salads with lettuce, cucumbers or crispy bread quickly become soft. Keep the dressing separately and mix everything just before eating.
Cool cold food sufficiently
Gazpacho, cucumber soup, Tiramisu and yoghurt desserts should be served well cooled. Place them directly in the refrigerator after preparation.
Fresh herbs last complement
Basil, dill, parsley, mint and rucola quickly lose freshness during long heat. Therefore, if possible, only add them at the end of the preparation or directly while serving.
Grillware do not turn too early
Fish, meat, halloumi and vegetables usually dissolve more easily from the grill grate once a stable grill crust has formed. Therefore, do not constantly apply the ingredients.
